They Think They Own You

You know who I mean. I’m talking about those people in our lives that seem to try to rule over us, in some way. They have no real authority over us, but try everything they can to keep us in line, according to their rules.

It might be that co-worker who thinks she or he knows more, or has the right to tell you how to do your job, or has some control over your work. They are like little Hitlers, invading everything and controlling it.

It could be that driver in the car in front of you, who is blocking your path. You know the guy who is in the wrong lane, or driving the wrong speed, or just plain stupid. You know you feel it too.

I went on a tour of a historical building last year. I made an appointment for my tour with a group at exactly 12:30, which was the time they gave me. I paid $30.00 in advance for the tour. These people are experts and know how long tours take, and how many people on average come. This should help them streamline their system

But yet, even though I arrived early and was prepared to be pleasant and learn, I was required to wait for about an hour. The only place to wait was in the gift shop, which of course gave others who were waiting plenty of time to purchase items. I’m cheap. So, I didn’t purchase anything.
